The 32-year-old shared images of herself practicing in a backless ensemble recently, drawing both praise and pushback from her online followers.

The outfit was worn during a visit to a location of personal significance to her. 'I hit my very first golf ball on this range and all these years later it's still one of my favorite places,' she added in a separate post.
While some users criticised her look as 'unprofessional' and questioned modern golf etiquette, others came to her defence, applauding her confidence and authenticity. 'Love your beautiful body and your personality,' one fan commented. Another joked, 'That's it, I'm taking up golf.'
Spiranac, who played college golf at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, has built a following of over four million on Instagram with golf content that blends skill and personality. Her unconventional wardrobe choices have frequently sparked online debate.
In a past interview with Sports Illustrated, Spiranac shared that her approach to golf attire was influenced by her background in gymnastics and financial constraints early in her career. 'I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game,' she said.
Reflecting on her first pro tournament at the 2015 Dubai Ladies Masters, Spiranac recalled hearing offensive comments from other players. 'It was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad,' she said during a recent episode of the Quiet Please! podcast.

Justin Bieber's social media posts continue to raise concerns among fans
Justin Bieber's latest Instagram post has sparked widespread concern among fans, many of whom are urging the singer to 'get help' following a series of mirror selfies shared on Saturday. The photos, taken in a bathroom, show Bieber posing awkwardly and making exaggerated faces. He captioned the post, 'U could point at my flaws. Or u could recognize ur own lil b**ch.' Followers quickly flooded the comments with concern. 'So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he's clearly struggling. He's not clear at all and hurting,' one comment read. Another added, 'Babe. Please go get help.' Some fans compared Bieber's behaviour to other celebrities known for public struggles. 'It's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's too late,' wrote a user. Several referenced a February appearance at Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skin event, where his erratic actions raised eyebrows and triggered speculation about possible drug use. Although his representative previously denied any substance abuse and criticised the drug rumours as 'harmful,' Bieber has continued to openly display his marijuana use. In April, sources close to the singer voiced their alarm in The Hollywood Reporter, saying they were watching him 'disintegrate.' One former team member said, 'He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him.'
